"Dirty Night Clowns" is a wonderful tale of curiosity, danger and pursuit. Although its never known what the path ahead has in store, Chris takes a journey driven by his nervous curiosity to find the nefarious character who roamed about his house while he slept. What seems scary and evil from a distance might end up as something unexpected as a cast of characters lures Chris in for a special ending.

Sometimes the fates align and two passionate artists are able to collaborate on a truly special level. Singer/songwriter Chris Garneau and producer/director Ryan Gibeau were brought together by the song "Dirty Night Clowns" from Chris' album El Radio. What is easily ROCK*iT's finest moment in video history came from this collaboration and the wildly imaginative music.

We'd like to send a special thanks to Chris Garneau, Absolutely Kosher Records, Alternate Ending Studios and the entire crew for actualizing our dream of making this video! Thank You!

Producers: Ryan Gibeau, Janelle Hawkes

    Thank you everyone for the great comments and support. This was a difficult and fun project!

    For the tech minds, I'll offer some specs, cause I know Vimeo users love specs. :)

    Shot on:
    RED One with Zeiss Superspeeds.
    Supported by a Fisher10 dolly, Fisher22 arm and weaver/steadman head.

    Thanks again for watching and I hope there's a child in you all enjoying the show :)

    Absolutely Wonderful! Reminds me of my childhood when i always used to watch marionettes and played with them. Very nice!

  • great stuff, its about time someone made a video for a chris garnuea song, he's one of the most amazing musicians and this does his work justice, well done.

  • immagininazione 1 year ago
    Lots of nice things, ironic and funny, a bit of "dark" mood: great project - good product!
    @David Sedlaczek: if you like marionettes and you didn't know it, it's a must that you (and everybdy) watch "Strings" of Rønnow Klarlund (2004). U ll love me for this.
